(ENTERTAINMENT) I don’t see anything wrong in taking a second wife — Yvonne Jegede defends Yul Edochie

Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has reacted to criticisms labelled on Yul Edochie’s face for taking a second wife, stating that she doesn’t see anything wrong with it.

She made this known in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, where she defended Edochie’s choice, saying that she saw nothing inherently wrong with him embracing polygamy and taking a second wife.

Yvonne further added that some of the people criticizing him come from families with second or third wives, and she urged them to refrain from making frivolous comments on the internet.”

She said, “You see this same Yul Edochie, ehn, 99% of people that are abusing him on the internet are from second wives, third wives, fourth wives, and even fifth wives.”

“Sometimes some of them come from wives they the family does not even know about; let’s all stop being silly on the internet.”

“He is owning his BS with his chest, but nobody is going to support him, even me. I have to stand with the crowd so they don’t curse me. I don’t see anything he’s done wrong; most of us are from second wives.” Jegede added.

Further expressing her support for Edochie, Jegede questioned the double standards surrounding polygamous relationships, specifically citing the case of Ned Nwoko and Regina Daniels.

“Why are we cursing the guy? They would curse him and leave Ned Nwoko alone, and say Regina Daniels is your prayer point, and she’s the only one that can advise you about marriage. These are the comments I see.”
